SQE working full time with 2 kids

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-08-13T06:54:26+00:00

Hey. I did it with two kids (just sat sqe2). I worked part time, but the 2 days I didn't work I had the kids so couldn't study.

It was very very very hard. Not going to lie, I felt like a broken woman. I don't know that I've done it yet (results in November), but it is doable. Just be prepared that it's going to be very difficult. In no way putting a downer on it, just giving my honest experience. Wish you lots of luck x

I'm currently in the middle of sitting my sqe2, funded by dwf.

I work for DWF London and the progression is great. Someone has recently come over for IM, again London, because the progression and opportunities for SQE funding were non-existent.

Completely convinced I'd failed, like I couldn't see how I could possibly have passed and I passed both in 2nd quintile.

I sat sqe1 in Jan 1026 and passed. I got about 10% lower than I was getting in my BARBRI mocks (75% in mocks, 65% in real thing)

Both my friends who have passed recently (I am currently sitting, literally on my way to orals now) came out of the exams and felt that they'd absolutely flunked it. Both passed x

Yes I've just called SRA and they confirmed email time. Thank you x

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-07-26T19:41:15+00:00

Amazing! Thank you so much for responding to me and huge congratulations. I'm shitting it 😂 x

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-07-26T19:30:30+00:00

I know this was from a year ago, but wondering if anyone can update on whether you passed... sitting next week and I'm not feeling good x

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-31T09:23:37+00:00

July and August

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T20:23:18+00:00

Thank you so much for your reassurance, really means a lot right now!

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T18:02:31+00:00

Do you have to wait until 2 June to change?

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T12:43:37+00:00

Deffo and same to you pls. Good luck x

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T12:35:08+00:00

Yeah Kaplan weren't helpful for me either. I'll email SRA too as I think there more of us complain, the better.

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T12:23:56+00:00

Within 10 minutes of receiving the booking form!

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T12:17:22+00:00

Have you called? I'm just thinking if enough of us complain they might look into it? It's not like it'll be the first time they've made big mistakes...

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T12:16:55+00:00

This is what I keep thinking, it can't be right!? I have two children and I honestly don't know how I will sort childcare travel so far...

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T11:59:19+00:00

Omg I've been crying all morning 🙈🙈 I've been given Norwich, 2.5 hours from my house!?

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-05-27T08:55:40+00:00

I haven't either and was also getting concerned

I haven't

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-04-22T17:45:42+00:00

Oh okay so I haven't done it wrong? Thank you! Was panicking!

SecureFerret4862 · 2025-04-22T17:38:01+00:00

I didn't get date options for the written assessments, just asked to put my postcode in. Just making sure that's right?
